Michael Halloran renewed as consultant

01 JUNE 2010

Following a decision taken by the CO-LaN Management Board, Michael Halloran has been renewed as of June 1st, 2010 till May 31st, 2011 as consultant to CO-LaN. While at Aspentech till end of 2005, Michael Halloran was heavily involved in the implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces in Aspen Plus. Since June 2006, Michael Halloran has been contracted by CO-LaN to provide services on such topics as:

Developing CAPE-OPEN interface specifications;

Developing specifications and designs for CAPE-OPEN related software;

Providing written reviews of implementations being undertaken by other parties;

Providing written reviews of CAPE-OPEN related documents and other materials;

Advising and guiding third parties engaged in CAPE-OPEN implementation work;

Michael Halloran has recently developed a COLTT log Viewer that facilitates the analysis of logs created by COLTT. He has also provided whatever was necessary for other developers to get involved in the further improvement of COLTT. Work will continue with the revamping of COLTT deployment.

Advanced Process Engineering Co-Simulator (APECS)

Model-centric process engineering

DyOS is a software tool for the solution of dynamic optimization problems.DyOS allows the model to be accessed via a so-called Equation Set Object (ESO) interface, a standard developed in the CAPE-OPEN project.

CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation socket in UniSim Design

Honeywell Process Solutions was awarded funding within the Consultancy Services scheme. Outcome of this action was reported by Martin ROSS, UniSim Product Manager, at the CAPE-OPEN 2014 Annual Meeting, held on September 10-11, 2014 in Mörfelden, Germany.

Consultancy Services: how does it work?

The purpose of the Consultancy Services scheme is to provide assistance, in the form of access to a specialist consultant and funding, in the new implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces or the improvement of existing interface implementations. Look out for the next round of service requests and apply.

Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool

The simulation environment Diana (Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool) performs the numerical analysis of problems such as the ones usually found in process engineering.

One of the main aspects of Diana is that it relies on the CAPE-OPEN Numerical interfaces. The models handled by the solvers within the numerical kernel of Diana, or plugged in Diana, are object-oriented models based on the CAPE-OPEN Equation Set Object (ESO) concept.
